OLOFINJANA TO SIGN TODAY

Tue Aug 10, 2010 7:43 am

The player is on his way down to Cardiff today to get the deal done and sign today, as we told you last Thursday he would.

He is not on £28k pw, his wage dropped when Hull were relegated. City are paying part of his wage not all of it as a loan deal.

Excellent news carl

I can see a few more players being moved on maybe a defender such as quinn or gypes and a fringe midfielder like taiwo or commingues just to free up some more wages ?

I would say this is our most important signing so far :ayatollah:

Great news and just the type of "enforcer" we've been looking for over the last few seasons. Don't expect much pretty stuff from him but I'd be surprised if he gets bullied out of many games :lol: :ayatollah:

Could prove to be the missing link in midfield and next to Koumas and/or McPhail its a mouthwatering prospect. Well done DJ & GJ for getting this deal done :ayatollah:

Tony, yes i think it has made DJ look at himself and change his thoughts about the midfield. I think we are now moving forward.

Good to see that the movement of players (Ross) is not just outbound from the club :D

And good to see a bit of height on the field :lol: :lol: :lol:

great news :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: OLOFINJANA TO SIGN TODAY

My only only concern now is the centre of defence. But its obvious he intends
persevering with Hudson, so lets see how we go eh? Darcy looks like he could
play premiership football tomorrow as a right back, Kev back to his old self.
Just need Gerrard in there I think!!

But we have Drinkwater who is very mobile and will look to tidy up in front of
the back four

We now have a dirge of players in midfield not afraid to put their foot on the
ball and wait for that killer pass. Though I cannot ever see us starting with McPhail
AND Koumas (which isnt a bad thing!!)

Chris Burke looking like he is getting back on top of his game!

Chops looked lean and mean on Sunday, seems to be carrying on from his end of Season
form from last year. bothroyd fit, with a back-up being lined up.

f**k me! are we favourites??

Just had a thought...

6ft 4".... set pieces will be interesting :D

Not only that, but could he be an extra striker when we're chasing games?

Re: OLOFINJANA TO SIGN TODAY

Someone like Olofinjana has been the missing piece in the jigsaw, in my opinion, since way back when we were targetting Jody Morris and Sean Gregan. Can't believe we've been this long without someone like him. He should take a lot more pressure off Hudson and Gerrard now and break up play in midfield. How we could have done with that against Blackpool, and many, many,many a game and season. About time. I'm off down the bookies.
